With us sweeping through the castle like this, it didn’t take long for us to collect all the things that I wanted to collect.
Once that was done, we headed back to the entrance of the castle.
Even though the wind around the castle was weakening, it seed that the pillar of wind that lifted us up here was still there. Though the problem was that it only lifted us up rather than letting us down.
This was seen when we jumped down thinking that it would cushion our fall only to land back at the castle entrance.
"How are we going to get down?"
I hadn’t been planning on revealing it that early, but...
"I haven’t even received an offering yet and you’re already making work?" Sylph said with a snort.
"If you don’t let us out, then we’ll all freeze to death here. You’ll be trapped here since I’ll be dead too."
Well, there were ways to get down even without Sylph’s help, but they weren’t really that safe or smart.
In the end, it seed like Sylph was convinced as she created a second pillar beside the first pillar. When it appeared, I jumped down and it did what we thought the first pillar would do.
With Klein and the others following , we returned to the cave that blocked out the wind and cold.
This place was different from the castle in the sky since this place was built with just the ability of the winged people. It didn’t rely on the power of Sylph, so it didn’t matter that she had been removed from her place in the dungeon.
That ant that we were finally able to take a break.
The good thing was that there were even buildings that were here for us to rest in.
What these buildings had most likely been used for was the guards that the winged people sent to watch over the exit. But judging by the skeletons that were here, it seed that they too succumbed to the sa illness as the others.
It really made one wonder just what that illness was that all of the winged people had died like this.
If it was an illness, there should have been so ti for them to react at least, right?
Since we were in a safe spot, Klein and the others didn’t waste any ti at all setting up a camp for us.
Once we were sitting around the fire that they made, I could tell that they had things that they wanted to ask . And since we had the ti, I suddenly said, "Alright, I’m sure that you have your questions for , so just ask right now."
"What was that place?" That was the first question that Klein asked.
"I can’t tell you." I replied without any hesitation.
They looked at with annoyed looks when I answered like this.
I didn’t bla them since I had said that I would answer their questions, but the answer that I gave them...
"It’s sothing that I can’t share right now, I’ll share it with you in the future." That was the only thing that I could do. I had to at least give them this guarantee or else they wouldn’t have been able to accept it.
Though it seed like they weren’t that willing to leave matters like this, they chose not to say anything else in the end.
I looked at them with gratitude for the trust that they gave , but that didn’t an that I was done yet.
There was a reason why I had started this conversation in the first place.
At the sa ti, I felt that it would give them an answer that they would be satisfied with.
As well, it would give them a power that would help them protect .
"I want to test sothing. I hope that all of you can help with this."
Klein and the others looked at with surprised looks when they heard this, but they still nodded in agreent in the end.
With a wave of my hand, there were spirits that suddenly appeared around us.
However, it wasn’t just a single kind of spirit that appeared.
There were all kinds of elental spirits that appeared with just a wave of my hand.
Since I had beco the contractor of the Four Spirit Kings of the four basic elents, it ant that the control that I had over spirits went beyond just these four basic elents.
There was a reason why they were called the four basic elents, they were elents that everything else was made up of. As such, it was easy for to summon the spirits of different elents even without forming contracts with higher tier spirits of those elents
The combined power of the four Spirit Kings was enough to call them out.
Once they appeared, I said to Klein and the other royal guards, "Take your pick. Form a contract with the spirit of your choosing."
They didn’t move after they heard say this.
Instead, they looked at with a strange look as if they were slowly figuring sothing out.
"These spirits and that wind from earlier..." Klein said as his expression slowly changed.
I could tell from his expression that there was a thought that was forming in his mind and this was the thought that I had wanted from him. So I didn’t stop him as I just waited for him to finish forming that though.
In the end, Klein didn’t say anything else as he went forward to pick out a spirit for himself.
Since he had figured it out, he didn’t say it out loud.
It was the sa for the other royal guards who were slowly figuring things out.
In the end, none of them said a thing as they went to pick out their spirits as well.
I couldn’t help shaking my head with a faint smile when I saw them acting this way, but I didn’t say anything either.
There wasn’t a need for any of us to say anything.
